Today and tomorrow, I'll be recapping this season's predictions in my Renew / Cancel Index in separate posts for each network. Wednesday, I'll have a post showing how the methods I'm going to use next season would have worked (and improved things) this season.

Castle gave me fits through the first half of the season as its ratings started low and kept climbing. Still, I predicted renewal well in advance of the ABC decision. Not so with The Middle, I still was predicting it to be in danger of cancellation when ABC renewed it. As anti-retentionista as I am, I failed to appreciate the Samantha Who? writing on the wall and continued to predict renewal for Romantically Challenged. I predicted V to be canceled for a single week, before pulling back to in danger. It will be one of the poster children for my new methods next season.

Of course in hindsight it all seems so obvious, but you may wish to amuse yourself with all the fan excuses/complaints/wails in all the original posts.
